ThirdPartyTools'TM Creates Secure Third-Party Gateways

The Third-Party Application Problem

When trying to manage all of your Files & Documents you also have to manage the Applications with which they are associated. If you are like most Manufacturing Organizations you have many disparate Applications that are used on a daily basis! For each of these Applications you will need to manage its Files/Documents! Managing these Application's Files & Documents securely can be one more challenge add to your plate.

A Third-Party Application Solution

It would be helpful if all of these Files/Documents could be Automatically Securely Managed from one location where Revisions, Deletions and Third-Party Access could be completely controlled.
